MEGGIE’S WILD RYDE

One bookers journey through band-land-ia

SxSW - Austin, Texas - 2008

Maceo Parker Comes to Town

Comments

His legendary collaborations with everyone from Ray Charles to Red Hot Chilli Peppers (and everyone inbetween) has helped secure Maceo Parker as a true timeless musician. A performance not to be missed! Make sure you come early…and stay late - as the rest of the lineup for the night is just as sensational. We have Grand Pianoramax featuring Celena Glenn, hot funk/soul local favorite Orgone - and our good friend DJ Medi4 spinning the tracks all night! As one of our favorite DJ’s, we know he’ll get the night rolling right! (Did you catch him during the amazing B-52’s show last year?) It’s a must see!

B-Side Players is a septet led by frontman Karlos Paez and including guitarist Giovanni Mejia, bass player Gerry Guevara, saxophonist Regan Branch, percussionists Victor Tapia and Luis Cuenca, and drummer Ryan Moran. The son of a musician, Paez spent a good deal of his time growing up on the road and formed the band in 1993 in San Diego. The group built a local following and won several San Diego music awards for their blend of Latin, funk, rock, and reggae, and have toured with artists ranging from Ben Harper to Papa Roach. The group issued Movement in September 2001, which culled material from two self-released records, Renacimeinto and Culture Of Resistence. The album included a guest appearance by Herbie Hancock drummer Mike Clark and a cover of the War classic “Spill The Wine”.
